Pork

Our pastured pork is amazing! They are moved around our 117 acres including pasture and woods so they get a combination of nuts, roots, grass and grubs.

Following is how we sell our pork (1/2 or whole)

We charge by the live weight at $3.35 / lb plus a processing fee of $50 (1/2), $100 (whole). We usually process the pigs between 250 and 300 lbs and typically get a 60% yield. For example, one half of a 275 lb pig (average) is 137.5 lbs at $3.25 / lb would be $446.88 plus the $50 processing fee and the total would be $496.88.

If we get 60% yield, that would be 82.5 lbs 10 oz of finished meat which equates into about $6.02 / lb.
